Outdoor Mother’s Day Plants
For those green-fingered mums, we have a beautiful selection of outdoor Mother’s Day gifts perfect for any garden. Our garden plants for mums will bring colour and joy to gardens, patios, and balconies.
Why Choose an Outdoor Plant for Mother's Day
Outdoor Mother’s Day plants are a thoughtful choice for mums who love gardening or simply enjoy sitting outside during the warmer months. Unlike cut flowers, outdoor plants offer a lasting impact for gardens, continuing to bloom and grow year after year.
From colourful blooms to lush greenery and even edible plants like herbs or fruit, outdoor plants add beauty, life, and personality to any outdoor space. With a variety of available outdoor plant gifts, there’s something for every type of mum.
Outdoor vs Indoor Mother’s Day Plants
Choosing between outdoor and indoor plants simply comes down to how your mum likes to enjoy them. Does she take pride in her home, enjoying the benefits of indoor plants? Or does she enjoy caring for plants outside in the sunshine?
Outdoor Mother’s Day plants are great for balconies, gardens, patios, or doorsteps where they can be admired by everyone. They’re perfect for mums who enjoy gardening and spending time outside.
Indoor Mother’s Day plants, on the other hand, are better suited to windowsills, shelves, or tabletops and require less seasonal care. When choosing the best plant for your mum, consider where the plant would live and where your mum likes to tend to them.
How to Choose the Best Outdoor Mother’s Day Plants
Choosing the right outdoor Mother’s Day gift doesn’t have to be complicated. Simply consider:
- Plant location – consider where the plant will be placed, how much sunlight it will have, and how much space. For example, a primrose planter would fit perfectly on a shady the patio
- Maintenance – although all of our plants are generally easy to care for, some species like butterfly lavender require minimal maintenance, which are perfect for the busy working mums
- Pet-friendly plants – for mums with pets, it’s crucial to check if the plant you choose is pet-friendly, for example, our primrose planter or Ranunculus, are great choices
